Market woes bring the curtain down on Shakespeare

[Gutenberg]

Milwaukee Shakespeare Company is closing because its principal founder, the Argosy Foundation, cannot come up with a promised $925,000 grant for this season. The company's 2008-2009 budget was $1.3 million.

I wonder how many arts orgs will end up in similar straits.
